Golden Eagle on a quieter day on Barra


A quieter day today following the excitement of yesterday, just the two golden eagles to liven up the day. A rosefinch was present for its second day and a barred warbler was found, but we couldn't connect with either. We're currently braced for the arrival of a mega storm overnight hopefully carrying some mega birds from North America.


This 2nd winter golden eagle was at the north end of the island at Eoligarry.  We saw a second bird on the cliffs above Creachan wood.


Golden plover numbers have increased over the past 24 hours, but we couldn't pick out anything that looked remotely like an American goldie.


Creachan where yesterdays Swainson's thrush was caught, also the site of a rosefinch today which we didn't see.



Loch Tangasdail, site of the legendary Barra coot.


Traigh Mhor, about 100m from our cottage.
